Working in mentor-mentee pairs, students were to create billboards promoting tolerance to be displayed in the Kansas City community. Mentees were encouraged to draw on personal experiences for their subject matter and mentors are challenged to articulate and initiate a professional design process for the mentees. tgalloway@kcai.edu Tyler Galloway 816 802 3543 www.kcai.edu Kansas City Art Institute true 2009-04-16T16:21:46Z Senior graphic design students at Kansas City Art Institute have teamed up with seniors at Paseo Adademy, an inner-city performance and fine arts high school, to produce billboards promoting tolerance for the "Create! Don't Hate." initiative. Students are addressing topics such as class-based exclusion, healthy body image, and looking past stereotypes in addition to more traditional notions such as tolerance of differences in race or creed. 1494 true 58 false Kansas City Art Institute www.kcai.edu Paseo Academy www.paseoacademy.org true true false Both sets of students learned much about each other and the subject matter through this process.

I would also like to address the content that is already present and how it can play a role in the new message. false 2010-01-21T07:18:00Z There may be a time in the future when we run out of resources to make paper. We will be surrounded by piles of paper in the form of newspapers, receipts, brochures, junk mail, ticket and envelopes. We would reuse and redefine a new graphic language where blank paper would be replaced by these materials which are bombarded with millions of colors, layouts, images, sizes, finishes and content. This project proposes a new graphic design approach. 110 152 true false true false This project proposes a new graphic design approach.

Research suggests SNAP recipients gain weight on food stamps, and BMI increases the longer enrolled.

Health concerns like obesity and nutrient deficiencies are continuing to grow, with low quality food and poor eating habits at the source. By using a specially designed cookbook, menu planner, and grocery list, this system aims to change the way families on Supplemental Nutritional Assistance programs (SNAP) eat. This system, rooted in preparation and repetition, hopes to remove stress and consequences of over-processed pantries and food insecurity by reclaiming the possibilities within fixed budgets 242 true 102 true false true true Families are more likely to choose foods that are compatible with long term health goals if purchasing decisions are made before shopping. With a cookbook written to enable budgets (rather than demean them), and lists that practice planning, this 3 part system educates while establishing a method that becomes second nature. 2 1 6 2010-01-20T22:38:11Z 27 Students are invited to apply what they have learned from our small neighborhood experience to the broader fabric of culture by proposing “bridges” that extend beyond our neighborhood connecting a broad array of people, nations and cultures. pattykovic@gmail.com Patricia Kovic 310 459 4475 neighborgapbridge.com false 2010-01-19T01:54:01Z In this interdisciplinary class artists and designers assume the role of ethnographer to investigate our immediate neighborhood. Otis College of Art and Design students partner with the Westchester Senior Center focusing on three investigative phases: Neighbor, Gap + Bridge. By observing and analyzing the distinguishing characteristics of both their own site and the Senior Center site, as well as the space that separates them, students begin to develop the visual language of reciprocity, and compassion necessary to propose design solutions to connect these spaces. 96 151 true NGB MUSIC VIDEO neighborgapbridge.com NEIGHBORGAPBRIDGE LOGO neighborgapbridge.com/index.php?/project/week-1/ Impose a new structure of unity on our neighborhood. neighborgapbridge.com/index.php?/project/week-1/ NGB GLOSSARY neighborgapbridge.com/index.php?/project/glossary/ WHAT DO THE SENIORS NEED? neighborgapbridge.com/index.php?/2009-fall/week-2westchester-senior-center/2/ false true false Projects are anticipated to engage a variety of media, and students are highly encouraged to pursue and propose designs that privilege experimental, challenging concepts over practical, buildable solutions. 1 3 6 2010-01-19T18:59:35Z 21 A goal of the project was for the guide to effectively reach a multilingual population with low health-literacy, from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. lrosowsky@massart.edu Lisa Rosowsky 617 879 7656 false 2009-03-02T22:28:56Z Hey Mama!
